ADuM1420
POWER-UP/POWER-DOWN CONSIDERATIONS
Given that the ADuM1420 has separate supplies on either side
of the isolation barrier for each channel, the power-up/power-
down characteristics relative to each supply voltage need to be
considered individually.
As shown in Table 7, when VDD1 input power is off, the ADuM1420
outputs take on a default low logic state. As the VDD1 supply is
increased/decreased, the output of each channel transitions
from/to a logic low to/from the state matching its respective
input (see Figure 13 and Figure 14).

When VDD1 crosses the threshold for activating the refresh
function (approximately 2.5 V), there can be a delay of up to
2 μs before the output is updated to the correct state, depending
on the timing of the next refresh pulse. When VDD1 is reduced
from an on state to below the 2.0 V threshold, there can be a
delay of up to 5 μs before the output takes on its default low state.
In addition, during power-up/power-down, there is a range of
VDD1 values within which erroneous outputs can occur if the
input data either is a logic high or is in transition between logic
states. This range is between 2.5 V and 2.7 V. The recommended
practice is to set all the input logic levels to low during power-up/
power-down.
